4-1 yesterday. Finally a good day.
Florida State -2.5 at Miami ......LOSS
FSU has been winning the games they are supposed to win pretty regularly (and conversely losing to teams that are better than them), so they've been pretty predictable. That said, Miami is arguably the worst team in the ACC at this point, losing to fellow cellar dwellers in NC State and UNC recently, so on paper FSU should go about handling their business as usual.
Additionally, I think this line is so short because of Miami's 12-3 home record. Going by that alone you'd think Miami's home court advantage is something quite fierce. Well that record has been propped up with a cup cake schedule outside of the ACC. In ACC home games they're a more beatable 4-3.
The atmosphere in the BankUnited center is hands down the least intimidating in the ACC. The B.U. center seats ~8000 fans. Miami's getting about 4000 fans to actually come to their games, so the arena is about half full. With FSU being so close, I've got a feeling that today's game could see a split of Miami and FSU fans, so I think you can throw out any home court advantage edge to Miami.
Will be back later with some more plays.
